Solid banking for self employed

Whilst there are a lot more features being rolled out all the time the app itself is very very slick and easy to use and easy to get info.

However the best thing about this app and the company as a whole is that the team are SO HELPFUL whenever you need support or can’t find something. No more calling and speaking to a call centre and having to go through a million pieces of security - just a simple and secure messenger direct to a team in the UK. Getting help whilst you wait or within the working day is brilliant for business users.

I recommend it.

Bank sync

For freelancers not based in an office with a pc constantly in use, not having the option to sync all your transactions daily with your accounting software is utterly a waste of time. The only way to keep your books on track is to find the time to sit in front of your pc, download a statement than fiddle around with the various columns than upload the file straight in your accounting software (often the various columns needs swapping or deleting) all above if you’re an experienced excel user, and finally tada! Invoicing ant tax estimation are decent options but not vital! Think twice what you need this banking app for before signing up. Hope the above is useful for new users

Hi there, thanks for taking the time to leave us your feedback.

While we aren't set up to integrate directly with third party accounting packages, we do offer customers the option to export their data if it's a preference to use one of these services.

Our aim is to learn more about what our customers use these services for by continuing to 'crowdsource' feedback and adding new features to the product. We want to enable you to consolidate your business finances, and manage your money and accounting requirements on the go. With the imminent introduction of Open Banking, it's going to become even easier and that's something we're already preparing for: https://getcoconut.com/2018/12/open-banking-money-revolution-of-the-century/.

If you wouldn't mind sending us a message via chat or by emailing support@getcoconut.com, it would be great to discuss your requirements in more detail so we can make additions to our roadmap, which you can see here: https://trello.com/b/U0JQpdnQ/coconut-product-roadmap.

The way forward for banking for freelancers!

Very easy to set up. My account was up and running in 24 hours and I received my card two days later. No issues and they just added the invoicing option. Life and time saving all in one app!
